Summary
Built in 1978 by the USDA NRCS, this flood risk reduction structure stands at 35 feet high and spans 5070 feet in length. With a storage capacity of 1439 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 7156 cubic feet per second, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water flow and mitigating flood risks in the area.
Despite its low hazard potential, SCS-Jack Creek Site-2 is closely monitored through regular inspections by the OWRB to ensure its structural integrity. The dam boasts a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate for water flow control. Its risk assessment ranks it as "Very High (1)", highlighting the importance of maintaining and managing this key infrastructure to protect downstream communities and resources from potential flooding events.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, the details of SCS-Jack Creek Site-2's design, construction, and functionality provide insight into the critical role that dams play in water management and flood prevention efforts. This earth dam stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts of state and federal agencies in safeguarding communities and ecosystems against the impacts of extreme weather events and changing climatic conditions.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
